This Week At Bungie - 5/03/2018

This Week at Bungie was posted yesterday (it WAS Thursday, after all), and it's a collection of goodies that all Destiny players should check out! As the release of Warmind approaches, Bungie is making sure you've got the background you need to properly enjoy it. The update points out new weblore released as a Narrative Preview, the new comic introducing Ana Bray, and the Developer Insights videos they've been releasing, if you missed them. There's a preview of the changes coming in the patch we'll see on Tuesday, a recap of the Exotic changes they've been teasing for a couple of weeks (including one for the D.A.R.C.I. Rifle I hadn't seen before), and a summary of the bigger changes that 1.2.0 will bring. There's also a preview of some changes coming to Eververse, changes that will increase your control over the gear you receive from Eververse. And of course, there are standard features (Destiny Player Support notes, fan-created videos) to round out the offering. As always, you can read it locally, if you choose.

PSA: Looks like IB Tokens WILL Carry Over

I've had a number of discussions with players about whether Iron Banner Tokens will carry over across the Season boundary next week; the general consensus has been that you should spend them, because they'll disappear when Season 3 begins. This has been bolstered, in part, by the Iron Banner Guide page on Bungie.net:

Players should ensure that they turn in any remaining Iron Banner Tokens before Lord Saladin departs from the Tower Courtyard following the weekly reset.

However, the question was directly asked in a Twitter thread a couple of weeks ago, and the answer, by Bungie's Jeremiah Pieschl, was pretty clear:
